This is useful both when idle cores don't use C-states and for a number of hyperthreading scenarios. --- examples/vm_power_manager/oob_monitor_x86.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/examples/vm_power_manager/oob_monitor_x86.c b/examples/vm_power_manager/oob_monitor_x86.c index 3c514475f..a5b1c168c 100644 --- a/examples/vm_power_manager/oob_monitor_x86.c +++ b/examples/vm_power_manager/oob_monitor_x86.c @@ -96,12 +96,12 @@ apply_policy(int core) g_branch_misses = miss_diff; if (hits_diff < (INTERVAL*100)) { - /* Likely no workload running on this core.
